Our Take
Stacey Kent's remastered version of "The Boy Next Door" is like a refreshing cup of English breakfast tea on a rainy Sunday morning. The album, originally released in 2003, has been given a new lease on life with crisp, clean production that highlights Kent's velvety voice and impeccable phrasing. From the swinging opening track "The Best is Yet to Come" to the beautiful ballad "Skylark", Kent effortlessly glides through the American Songbook with a sophistication and charm that is truly timeless. Her interpretation of classic songs like "The Trolley Song" and "Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You" is both respectful of the original versions while adding her own unique twist. The instrumentation on this record is also top-notch, with lush arrangements that feature some of the best jazz musicians in the business. The piano playing on "East of the Sun (and West of the Moon)" is particularly outstanding, adding an extra layer of elegance to an already exquisite track. Overall, "The Boy Next Door" is a delightful listen from start to finish, with Kent's impeccable vocals and the stellar musicianship making it a must-have for any jazz aficionado. So put on your best smoking jacket, pour yourself a glass of fine bourbon, and let Stacey Kent serenade you into a state of pure bliss with this remastered gem. Cheers, old chap!
